Because this tri looks seemingly rare. The black and tan appearance on his face - no white … I don't know, but he is striking to me. Of course I love the signature Basenji white socks and tail tip.
Hmm - I didn't know the super curly tail was developed thru breeding practices. Looking at this tri's tail, with the pictures shown, it doesn't look curled at all. Do you know - maybe I missed it, but are these two from the same litter?
I was thinking that cause you don't really see that many of them (Tri's with no white on the face). The lines that my Kobey comes from has produced many "non" white faced Tris, Black & Whites and Red…ggg...
Many things about todays modern purebred dogs have been done with selective breeding. That is what breeders do, they find what they like about a particular dog and that is what they try to preserve in breeding. So if breeder think/thought that the tighter tail was better looking then the loose one, it became more accepted because there were more of them. Same goes for temperament and health... and selective breeding.
